Xie Mansion in Banyan Lane, East of Liuyun County

The Li family's old house had an early Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and after Wang Can finished eating, he pulled Li Jun and caught up with the ox cart to enter the city before it was dark.

After the two came to Xie's house, the sky also darkened.

After Wang Can lit the lanterns and candles, he said to Li Jun: "Brother Junzi, you help boil some hot water, wash the pots and pans, and I'll clean the house." My brother-in-law is not at home, so we can't let his house be dusty for the New Year. ”

"Good!"

Originally, Wang Can didn't plan to come, but after Li Yuan and the children were gone, her heart was empty, and she always wanted to find something to do.

No, after thinking about it, I think it's better to come to Xie's house.

First, this is where her sister and her two children will live in the future.

Second, they are about to get married, and now that no one is there, it is not appropriate to leave the house dusty for the New Year.

Three, she doesn't know when they will come back, although I heard that it is the third year of junior high school, but as far as she knows, the guide is the sixth year of junior high school.

In case you rush back on the sixth day of the new year, because there are children, you must not be able to rush overnight, so most of the time you get home is around the tenth day of the first month.

These twelve are married, and when they arrive home at the beginning of the tenth year, it is definitely not appropriate.

There are elders in the family, and it's okay to help Zhang Luo, but there is no elder in the Xie family.

So, it's only those of them who are brothers who can help.

Wang Can is not the only one who has this idea.

When she and Li Jun were busy, it didn't take long for the voices of Jiang Ping'an, Yan Jiao and others to come from outside the door.

"Brother Xie, are you at home?"

Li Jun, who was halfway through the dishes, hurriedly walked out of the kitchen, and when he opened the door, he saw Yan Jiao and Jiang Ping'an coming over.

He subconsciously wiped his hands and went to help Gao Wu.

Who knows, he avoided it.

"Junzi, don't help, I'm fine."

Li Jun shook his hand and looked him up and down.

After a while, he asked, "Is it really good?" ”

It seems to be in good spirits, but wasn't it so sick that I kept coughing a few days ago, and I couldn't get out of bed anymore?

"That's it! Didn't Brother Xie get medicine from the miracle doctor again? I was fine in less than two days after eating. Now the burned areas on my body are much better. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hands that became a little hideous, and shook them in front of Li Jun's eyes without care.

And Yan Jiao took the opportunity to ask: "Junzi, you are not at home on Chinese New Year's Eve today, why did you come here?" ”

"My sister and brother-in-law went to Fucheng to come back after the New Year. Chan Chan pondered and came to clean up the house, so he came. ”

Yan Jiao smiled when she heard this: "Coincidentally, we think the same way. originally thought that Brother Xie would come back in the next two days, and then he kept an eye on this side. I didn't expect to come back, so I thought about coming over to help clean up. ”

Jiang Ping'an also echoed: "I think the same way, when I happened to come over with Su Jin, I met Brother Gao Wu and Sister Jiaojiao. ”

Wang Can had just cleaned the room where she and Li Yuan usually slept when she heard the movement and walked out.

Seeing everyone standing at the door, she knew what was going on with a roll of her eyes, and immediately said, "Are they all here to help?" Then come in and stand at the door, what are you doing? Brother Junzi, you boil more hot water. Sister Jiaojiao, Su Jin, you come over to help clean the East Wing. Brother Gao Wu, don't touch these things, just sit in the hall and rest. Brother Ping'an, I bother you to help clean the yard. The rest of the firewood is not chopped, so help chop it. If you are tired, rest and let Brother Junzi come. ”

When everyone heard her instructions, they followed suit.

And Wang Can himself took a broom and entered the main room.

This place is currently where Xie Yanzhi lives, but in the future, her sister Yuan will also live here, so she has to clean it herself.

It's just that this cleaning soon came to a problem.

Putting aside the kang that pushed the door straight to the door, leaning against the wooden bed on the left side, when she bent down to clean the bottom of the bed, she first felt that she had swept something in the corner of the wall.

Then she changed the angle to scan, and saw a string of copper plates, about eighty words.

However, it should have been a long time, and the copper plate was wrapped in a thick layer of dust, and the color could not be seen clearly.

If it weren't for the iron wires, she estimated that the copper plates would have been scattered all over the ground by this time.

When she put the string of money on the table and continued to clean, it was still under the bed on the left side, and she felt that another thing had been swept out.

She thought about what she had heard about Xie Yanzhi's bad luck, and immediately gritted her teeth and moved the bed away little by little.

Oh, under a huge bed, there are several mud bumps.

Aside from the previous copper plates, now this land, these lumps of mud, are all broken silver.

If it weren't for her sharp eyes, I'm afraid she wouldn't know that this is money!

After Wang Can picked them up or dug them up.

She found that these added up to more than a tael of silver.

A bed alone was worth so much silver, and she immediately looked elsewhere.

After she had restored the bed to its original shape, she lit an oil lamp on the table in her room, making sure that there was more light.

No one could have imagined that Wang Canguang was cleaning Xie Yanzhi's room, and the money he picked up from the ground added up to more than three taels of silver.

Aside from under the bed, she picked up the most around the table in the middle of the room.

Almost all of them were around the legs of the stool, and they were still pressed into the mud by the legs.

Other than that, it's the one next to the door.

After finding the money, Wang Can, who cleaned the house, put all the money into a big tea bowl, and then brought it out.

Li Jun was already chopping wood, and when he saw her with a calm face and a bowl of things in her hand, he asked, "Cancan, what's wrong?" ”

Wang Can came back to his senses, glanced at the contents of the bowl with a complicated face, and then looked at Li Jun.

"Brother Junzi, I just helped my brother-in-law clean the house, how much money do you guess I found?"

Li Jun and Jiang Ping'an, as well as Gao Wu, who was idle in the hall, couldn't help but think of the money that their brother Xie always lost for no reason.

At that time, he was extremely unlucky, even at home, he could lose money, and he could not find it.

Co-authored, now all found, and still in his own room?

Thinking like this, the three of them walked towards Wang Can.

When I saw the mud lumps in the big tea bowl, I suddenly realized.

Li Jun stretched out his hand to take the big tea bowl, and then went into the kitchen to scald it with hot water.

After the dust and mud on the surface of the silver were washed away, he looked at the money and looked at Wang Can with bright eyes for a while.

"Cancan, if you can clean your brother-in-law's room for so much money, you can definitely clean it in the study. Go, I'll go with you. If we can scrape together enough six taels of silver, then we can help him make the wedding decent. ”

At that time, they will treat the money as if they were given by Brother Xie in advance, and then ask them to help buy the banquet and so on.

As for his sister's dowry, although she said that she went to Fucheng to buy it, her grandmother also helped prepare some for the old house.

Like quilts, washstands, wooden basins, buckets for children and grandchildren, etc.
